Morn is a 54-year-old soldier from Cambodia. He and his wife have two sons together, both have moved out to live on their own. Morn spends a lot of time driving in the countryside with other soldiers, and enjoys talking with them and listening to the news. He also likes showing his friends music he listens to on his phone.
Three years ago, Morn developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him partial blindness, irritation, and a cloudy lens. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Morn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for seven hours seeking treatment. On August 4th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Morn said, “I hope my surgery helps me see everything clearly again so I can drive for my job, read books, and do everything myself.”
